Goofs and Gaffes - Gone to the Angels - The blank bible

The blank pages within the covers are unwittingly revealed...

Jack is poring over a large bible on the living room table

Where are we?: Hoping to find some comfort and insight, Abby spends a few days with the three reclusive 'Angels'. As she enters, Jack is poring over a large bible on the living room table

What's the goof?: A versatile BBC prop, this large tome had plenty of potential uses. Set designers could place the necessary pages on top of the otherwise blank volume to suit their dramatic needs. Unwittingly, actor Frederick Hall reveals the empty pages within...

And in close-up, it's even more apparent.
